My website is slowly being updated and
I'm about to order in a lump of Desert Insurgent stock to place on
sale. Low volume initially so give me
a heads up if anyone wants a pre release set and I'll fast track it.
I expect the price to be around £14 for the 9 miniatures. P&P
still to be concluded, payment via paypal (or credit card without a
pay pal a/c).

I've also managed to clear my schedule
next week to get stuck into sculpting and designing again after a
month of painting! Naturally I have a lot of Sci-Fi sculpts in
progress that I'll be rounding off and completing.

Design work is about to start on a new
project and I've taken a quick pic of the inspiration pile I'm going
to be immersing myself in for the next few weeks. I stopped spending
money on lots of miniatures years ago.... I never stopped buying
books though. This lot will be front and centre on the bookcase for a
while.

I know it's early days on this range
but I'm planning on going more Byzantian on the Imperial forces and
more Arabian on the desert insurgents (good guys).

It will be a few weeks before I order
up a few lots and offer them for sale, I want to get some shots of
the metals and a brief and brutal review article completed first.
They will be very limited, drop me an email if you are interested in
getting a few quickly: sales at miniaturesofthenorth.com

I wont lie, these were quite a trick to
put together! No more so than usual metal miniatures but I did find
myself going in with some putty to hide a couple of joins. I wouldn't
want to assemble a huge amount of these so I will dissuade people
from buying lots of them unless they insist. They are definitely for
the experienced and patient modeller.

Unfortunately one of the Peacekeepers
right arms was damaged in the molding process so it's not sale
worthy, it took me less than a minute to fix it with putty and I've
photographed the work here. More than likely I'll lower the price for
the box but throw in the miniature anyway, we will see.
